As Team USA progresses in the tournament, the spotlight remains on Coco Gauff, whose early 2025 performances highlight her growth and determination. Fans are eagerly anticipating the semifinals and beyond, as the team strives to bring home the title.
Pegula’s pride in her teammates reflects the camaraderie and competitive spirit within the team, making the United Cup not just a showcase of athleticism but also a celebration of national pride and unity.
